Occupied Japan Paper Boy Hand Painted Beetle Lady Bug
Details
Such a cute figurine, from Occupied Japan. Featuring a Newspaper boy, imploring you to buy a newspaper from him, with his heart shaped eyes. It appears to be a beetle but with red dots on his wings, he may be a lady bug. You decide. Very nice little piece of nostalgia for your china cabinet or critter collection. I have included many photos, please refer to them for condition. It seems to have a bit of wear here and there on the paint but that also may be the way he is painted. Those Eyes though! He is approx. 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches.

I have spent years collecting and buying Antique and Vintage Decor and Collectables. I get the best price I can and pass it on to you. The name Beetle's Rucksack is a shout out to the old cartoon Beetle Bailey. A favorite of mine and unfortunately gives you a great idea of my age. I believe in leaving the item in the condition I have found them since 'The stories are in the schmutz' and patina. I hope I have an item that brings back fond memories for you or a loved one. Let me know if I can be of any assistance, and yes I am happy to take an offer. I use clean recycled materials for packing as often as possible. Please remember that glass should be left in the box to acclimate to your climate before the box is opened. Extreme temp changes can cause items to break. Thank you for choosing Beetle's Rucksack and helping me grow as a small business.
